Inert Ingredients and Purported Uses Reference Page

Drug companies are permitted to make therapeutic claims on their labels.  Drug Companies add Essential Oils to their compounds under the "Inert Ingredients" heading.  We add some Essential Oils to our products, too.  We add them only as inert ingredients.  Our products moisturize only or scrub only, we are not allowed to make, nor are we making any therapeutic claims.

Many Books, Authorities, and Websites list various purported properties, uses and benefits of essential oils. We do not endorse any of these Authorities, we just did a "Google Search" on our inert ingredients and reported the results here.  Our Search References are:

Since you may be curious about the purported "property and use claims" for the essential oils in our products, we have compiled a list from the references above.  This is strictly for fun, since we are making NO therapeutic Claims about any of our products.  (This list includes the Inert Ingredients we use in our products, as new products are introduced the list will expand.)
